Gaining insights into winning football strategies using machine learning
University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign (UIUC) has partnered with the Amazon Machine Learning Solutions Lab to help UIUC football coaches prepare for games more efficiently and improve their odds of winning. Previously, coaches prepared for games by creating a game planning sheet that only featured types of plays for a certain down and distance, and […]
Activity detection on a live video stream with Amazon SageMaker
Live video streams are continuously generated across industries including media and entertainment, retail, and many more. Live events like sports, music, news, and other special events are broadcast for viewers on TV and other online streaming platforms. AWS customers increasingly rely on machine learning (ML) to generate actionable insights in real time and deliver an […]
Reducing training time with Apache MXNet and Horovod on Amazon SageMaker
Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed service that provides every developer and data scientist with the ability to build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models quickly. Amazon SageMaker removes the heavy lifting from each step of the ML process to make it easier to develop high-quality models. As datasets continue to increase in size, […]
Multi-GPU and distributed training using Horovod in Amazon SageMaker Pipe mode
There are many techniques to train deep learning models with a small amount of data. Examples include transfer learning, few-shot learning, or even one-shot learning for an image classification task and fine-tuning for language models based on a pre-trained BERT or GPT2 model. However, you may still have a use case in which you need […]
Code-free machine learning: AutoML with AutoGluon, Amazon SageMaker, and AWS Lambda
One of AWS’s goals is to put machine learning (ML) in the hands of every developer. With the open-source AutoML library AutoGluon, deployed using Amazon SageMaker and AWS Lambda, we can take this a step further, putting ML in the hands of anyone who wants to make predictions based on data—no prior programming or data […]
Deploying custom models built with Gluon and Apache MXNet on Amazon SageMaker
When you build models with the Apache MXNet deep learning framework, you can take advantage of the expansive model zoo provided by GluonCV to quickly train state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms for image and video processing. A typical development environment for training consists of a Jupyter notebook hosted on a compute instance configured by the operating […]
Delivering real-time racing analytics using machine learning
AWS DeepRacer is a fun and easy way for developers with no prior experience to get started with machine learning (ML). At the end of the 2019 season, the AWS DeepRacer League engaged the Amazon ML Solutions Lab to develop a new sports analytics feature for the AWS DeepRacer Championship Cup at re:Invent 2019. The […]
Customers Achieve Machine Learning Success with AWS’s Machine Learning Solutions Lab
AWS introduced the Machine Learning (ML) Solutions Lab a little over two years ago to connect our machine learning experts and data scientists with AWS customers. Our goal was to help our customers solve their most pressing business problems using ML. We’ve helped our customers increase fraud detection rates, improved forecasting and predictions for more […]
Calculating new stats in Major League Baseball with Amazon SageMaker
This post looks at the role machine learning plays in providing fans with deeper insights into the game. We also provide code snippets that show the training and deployment process behind these insights on Amazon SageMaker.
Kinect Energy uses Amazon SageMaker to Forecast energy prices with Machine Learning
The Amazon ML Solutions Lab worked with Kinect Energy recently to build a pipeline to predict future energy prices based on machine learning (ML). We created an automated data ingestion and inference pipeline using Amazon SageMaker and AWS Step Functions to automate and schedule energy price prediction. The process makes special use of the Amazon […]
